How can you be sure your faith is more than just words? This episode is a deep dive into the heart of Christian assurance and spiritual growth, drawing from the profound insights of 2 Peter 1:5-10. We unpack the crucial difference between merely hearing the gospel and experiencing the transformative inward call of the Holy Spirit, which marks authentic salvation. Water baptism, a public declaration of our faith, is also demystified, emphasizing its role as a symbol rather than a means to salvation. Join us as we explore the foundations of a secure, dynamic faith that propels believers toward a fulfilling walk with Christ.
Are you grounded in your divine calling and election? We address this and other pressing concerns head-on, providing a candid discussion on the doctrine of election, which for many can be a tough pill to swallow. Election isn't about elitism or exclusivity; it's about resting in God's grace and recognizing that our response to His call shapes our journey of trust and obedience. We'll guide you through understanding how your personal story fits into the larger narrative of God's redemptive plan, and why this knowledge is vital for navigating the trials and tribulations of life with unwavering faith.
As we wrap up, we don't shy away from confronting the current political climate's impact on Christians. We call for introspection on where our allegiances truly lie and encourage the strengthening of faith through prayer and engagement with grace. The episode culminates with a poignant reminder of the triune God's role in our salvation and an open, albeit declined, invitation for dialogue with a critic. |
